  • Her messaging still sucked.

    It was this. I was really engaged this season. I was fully on board to support her, but towards the end, I had to remind myself why I was excited. I was already going to support her, and I had forgotten what made me excited more than once.

    If that happened to me, a fervent supporter of what she represented, everybody else who was more lukewarm forgot completely. She was the candidate of change at the beginning and was Joe Biden 2.0 by the end.

    If Dems don’t figure out how to capture excitement in their next attempts, if they can’t energize the young who are so naive they follow Instagram influencers without a second thought, they’re gonna keep losing to these terrible but charismatic Republicans.

    Alright. Well, gotta deal with the pain of having a criminal conman for a president on our individual ways, I suppose.

    I’m not really interested in criticizing people, myself. You can do what you like and convince people to join you in whatever way you deem fit, but in my experience, they tend to shut down and stop listening (maybe it’s my delivery). I’d much rather show them there’s hope elsewhere, especially because right now, that’s what a lot of people want. Honey vs. vinegar, and all that.

    For my part, I’m not sure it is, though lack of votes didn’t help. The meme is perhaps meanspirited so soon after the painful news, but here’s my question, and this is genuine: now what?

    Trump will get to pick a bunch of lower federal judges and probably two more SCOTUS judges. What’s the way out when it seems to me that he and his jackals control the military, the police, and the judiciary? Seems like a hopeless setup to me.

    Harris lost, so what’s Step 2?






  • Nope, the hype around it is because it’s a Rust-based DE whose features compete with Hyprland and Gnome while hopefully improving upon both.

    People are excited for what it promises to be, but it’s not even close to fully cooked, though several people have found that the current features work for their day to day usage. I don’t really want to have to deal with bugs or big changes, so I’ll also be waiting.
